How to Prevent a 'No Holders' Scenario for Your Solana Token

It is extremely difficult. Core token mechanics like fee distributions and reward structures are usually set at creation. Changing them often requires migrating to a new contract, which can cause confusion and loss of trust. The most effective strategy is to select a launchpad like Spawned that has these incentives built in from the start, preventing the problem before it occurs.

On every buy and sell transaction of a token launched on Spawned, a 0.30% fee is taken. This fee is automatically distributed proportionally to all current holders of the token. If you hold 2% of the total supply, you receive 2% of that 0.30% fee pool. This happens on-chain with every trade, creating continuous, passive yield for holders.

A dedicated website acts as a permanent, credible hub for your project. Social media channels and Telegram groups can become chaotic or get deleted. A website gives holders a stable place to find the token address, read the roadmap, see official updates, and verify the project's legitimacy. This stability builds trust, which is foundational for holder retention. Spawned's integrated AI builder creates this immediately.

The 0.30% fee is active immediately upon launch on Spawned. It is split: 0.30% goes to the creator as revenue and 0.30% is distributed to holders as rewards. After the token 'graduates' to full independence, an additional 1% perpetual fee can be enabled via the Token-2022 standard. This 1% fee is dedicated to funding the project's ongoing development, marketing, and operations, helping sustain long-term value for holders.

Yes, but they require active management. Common methods include airdrops to existing communities, staking programs with token emissions, and building tangible utility (like access to a game or service). However, these often require significant upfront capital or development work. The advantage of built-in fee rewards is that they work automatically from day one, providing a base layer of incentive upon which you can layer these other methods.

A free launch might save 0.1 SOL (~$20) upfront, but it often lacks the sustainable economic features. You would need to manually build a website (costing $29-99/month), set up a complex reward system, and find another way to fund development. Spawned consolidates these essential, ongoing needs into a single, low-cost launch, providing the tools to prevent the 'no holders' scenario that many free-launched tokens face within weeks.
